COUNTDOWN TO HEROES UNMASKED

This coming Tuesday marks the long awaited return of our annual fall carnival, HEROES UNMASKED!
There will be no Awana club, but everyone is invited out to enjoy the carnival style games, fun, face painting, snacks, candy, see the empty tomb of Jesus and meet the heroes of the Bible! It's fun for all ages! Throw marshmellows at Goliath's head, fire off finger rockets at the lions in "Daniel's lion den", save Noah's animals from the flood, putt through "Moses Red Sea mini-putt", meet Queen Esther and have her paint your face at the face painting booth, and throw ammo at the bad guys in the "Bad Guys Gallery".
And of course there is lots of candy waiting to be handed out to the winners of the games. But make sure you don't miss the highlight of the carnival, "the empty tomb of Christ". The gravekeeper would love to take you on a tour of the graveyard and show you the one tomb that now sits empty!
See you all this Tuesday.
Doors open at 6:30 pm. Parents are responsible for their own children.
Regular club will return November 6th.

LIGHTS OUT NIGHT

It's lights out at club this Tuesday. The lights will be out throughout the building, with a few exceptions of course (like the bathroom!). So come prepared with your flashlights and lighter colored clothing.
It's also the first week the Awana store will be open! Bring your Awana coupons to club and purchase some really cool things. Remember, you don't have to spend any of your coupons if you don't want to. Save up and see what you could buy later in the year at the more expensive tables.
And don't forget the Awana Christmas hamper we are putting togther. The goal is 221 lbs, so bring out non persihable food and throw it in the hamper at registration.

See you tomorrow night.

Launching the Awana Food Fundraiser

I have challenged the club at Ridgeville Bible Chapel to raise my weight in food to donate to Open Arms Mission in Welland. I thought it would be a neat way to show our clubbers the needs of the community and empower them to help. After all, Jesus challenges us to care and love others as we love ourselves. And what better way to instill this message into our clubbers than by ministering to those who are in need at Christmas time. So for the next 9 club nights, beginning tomorrow and ending at the Awana Christmas Concert on December 11th, we will be collecting non-perishable food items in order to meet the weight challenge of what I weigh. The goal is 221 lbs. I would love to smash that weight challenge! So clubbers and parents, bring in your food donations and let's share the love of Christ with the world, starting in our own backyard. The total amount of weight in food will be announced at the Christmas concert.

We are two weeks away from the much anticipated return of our Fall Carnival at Ridgeville Bible Chapel, HEROES UNMASKED! It has been 2 years since we ran the last carnival, but now is the time to bring it back. So we are busy preparing all the games, decorations and getting candy gathered for what should be an exciting and unforgettable night. Meet King David, challenge Goliath, putt your way through Moses' Red Sea challenge and see the empty tomb of Jesus! So be ready for October 30th.......it's gonna be a blast!

JERSEY AND SPORT TEAM NIGHT

After an eventful and busy Parents night (which saw alot of parents out!) we return to a normal club night with some exceptions. This Tuesday October 9th is "Jersey and sport team" night for the Sparks, T&T and Treks, while the Cubbies enjoy Show and Tell time.

The "Blue and Gold" one is best!!!!

For those participating in "Jersey and sport team" night, simply wear your favorite sports jersey from the NHL, CFL, NFL, NBA or your own team that you play for! If you don't have a jersey, just wear a shirt or sweater with their crest on it for some bonus Awana shares! Cubbies, bring your favorite thing to show and tell.
See you all at club tomorrow and Happy Thanksgiving!

PARENTS NIGHT TONIGHT!

Parents, you are our special guests tonight as we show off a little of what we do here at club. We begin at 6:30 pm, but please come early and check out what your kids are up to on Tuesday nights. Shadow your child as they sing and study there way thought the night. And of course cheer them on during game time. Each director will present a short info session outlining what we offer here at Awana and how you can help your child be successful.
Refreshments and snacks will be available through out the night.
See you tonight!
